A Facade...
I was initially impressed when I went to visit this center. (The Director gave a good sales pitch.) However, after several months of my son attending school here I had to withdraw him from the center. The information and commmunication between the staff was inconsistent and continuously changing. The teachers in the preschool 1 class were cold and not personable at all. I witnessed one of the teachers yelling at kids in the class on more than one occasion. The over all expectations of the students were unrealistic. My son's self esteem was affected because of the way the teachers made him feel when he didn't write as well as other students or get a concept immediately. The teachers were so busy trying to meet the expectations of the corporate office that they didn't engage with the kids or spend the extra time working with them when it was needed. Everytime I walked into the classroom I'd find the teachers working on projects to post outside in the halls (cutting construction paper and etc.) vs. playing or teaching. My overall experience was not a good one. I wouldn't recommend this center.
